Patents by Inventor Katie Kristine Glass

Katie Kristine Glass has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12157244
    Abstract: A perforating apparatus and method includes a longitudinal cylinder axis about which a cylinder rotates. At least one shaped anvil bead is disposed on the cylinder. The cylinder including an anvil block and an anvil bead form a cavity. The cavity may be used to control the debris produced during the perforating process. A blade is disposed on a support to cooperate in contacting relationship with the anvil bead. A web is perforated as the web passes between the rotating cylinder and the support and the blade operatively engages with the anvil bead. The debris may be controlled by being drawn into the cavity prior to the point where the blade engages the anvil and, subsequently, being expelled after the point where the blade engages the anvil bead.

  • Publication number: 20210237964
    Abstract: Array of the present disclosure may comprise packages comprising larger diameter rolls. These packages may weigh the same or less than packages comprising traditional sized rolls and/or these packages may have aisle facing faces that are the same as or smaller than packages comprising traditional sized rolls. The larger diameter rolls may have surprising properties versus traditional rolls: they may be weaker, softer, less firm, generate more lint, etc. than traditional rolls.
